Seeing “black spider turning black animal baby”
in your dream

The donkey symbolizes man’s endeavours and luck, commensurate with its weight and size. Only the braying of that animal is seen as a bad omen.

• A fat donkey: Money for the owner.

• A lean donkey: Poverty of the owner.

• A tall donkey: Man’s prestige.

• A beautiful donkey: The dreamer will look better.

• A white donkey: The dreamer is pious and has a certain style.

• A black donkey: Joy, sovereignty, awe, and majestic power. The donkey was Ibn
Siren's favourite animal and black his favourite color  (for dreams).

• A green donkey: Sagacity and religious faith.

• Dreaming that a host of black women are coming to you: You will have plenty of welfare, but from the enemy side.

• Dreaming that your face is black and that you are wearing white clothes: You will have a female child in view of the Quranic verse that reads as follows: “When if one of them receiveth tidings of the birth of a female, his face remaineth darkened, and he is wroth inwardly.” 
(“Al-Nahl” [The Bees], verse 58.)

• Your face being black and your clothes dirty: You are lying to God.

• Your face turning black and dusty: You will die.

• A man dreaming that he has red makeup on his cheeks like women: He is an adulterer.

• Having a white, shining beard: Will have power and prestige and be well noted in the country, as, according to Ibn
Siren, Abraham’s beard was white.

• The beard becoming hoary or gray: Prestige and respectability.

• The beard graying and then turning completely white: Will become poor and unheeded.
A black-bearded young man told Ibn Siren he dreamed that his beard had turned completely white and that he was trying to dye it, to no avail, as the dye wouldn’t hold. The interpreter replied that his fortune was declining and that he was trying to conceal this fact, in vain, which he admitted.

• Having a jet-black or pitch-black beard: Will grow prosperous and self-sufficient, especially if the black was greenish, in which case it would mean tremendous wealth and authority coupled with tyranny, as that was said to be the color of the hair of Moses pharaoh.

Seeing one's black hair turning white in the dream means that he will gain credibility and respect among his people.

  (Also look under Beard.) Prematurity is not favoured by the interpreters of dreams, except for the ability to speak early, because, says Ibn
Siren, man is a talking animal. So the act is more or less natural. But for the rest it heralds a scandal or death. Bad dreams of that kind involve, for example, little children with beards, getting married, or kids having a baby.

The lion is a ruler, a tyrant, or a powerful and very dangerous person, in view of the ferocity and devastating anger of that animal. It also symbolizes the warrior, the swindler, the thief, the treacherous worker, the policeman, the insatiable enemy, and perhaps hardships and death, because he who stares at it turns pale, loses his self-control, and is as good as dead, says Ibn
Siren. Furthermore, it represents the ruler who embezzles public funds and commits injustice and the lurking enemy.
The lioness symbolizes the daughter of a king. The baby lion  (lion’s whelp or cub) is a boy.
A man told Ibn Siren, “I dreamed that I was embracing and nursing a baby lion.”
When the great seer looked at him, saw his humble appearance and miserable garments, and understood that he could not be eligible for any
honour, he said, “What could you possibly have to do with the children of princes?!” and he added, “Is your wife, by chance, breast-feeding the son of a prince?”
“Yes,” was the reply.

The eagle symbolizes a strong man, a warrior who can be trusted neither by a friend nor by a foe. Its baby is an intrepid son who mixes with rulers.

• An eagle seen on a rooftop or in a house: The Archangel of Death will visit that house.

• An eagle falling on the dreamer’s head: The dreamer will die, because whenever the eagle catches an animal with its claws it kills it.

(Animal driver; Grooming; Tending; Stableman) An animal driver in a dream represents a leader, a president of a group or corporations or a wealthy person. In general, seeing a groomer, an attendant, a driver or a stableman in a dream denotes a bad dream and implies impetuousness, a pimp, a procurer, a pander, an officiant, an adulterer, or one who drives a chained male animal to copulate with a female animal. (Also see Copulation)

Playing a banjo with strings made from animals intestines in a dream also represents a wise man admonishing or reprimanding people. Playing a banjo in a dream also means sorrow. To tap on a banjo in a dream denotes nostalgia. Listening to the music of a banjo in a dream means turning one's attention to lies. (Also see Musician; String Instruments)

• Owning a disobedient vulture without fearing it much: Will be dignified but become tyrannical and stubborn. Likewise, the dreamer will act as a tyrant in religious matters.55

• Seizing some of the vulture’s feathers or bones: Will be granted a fortune by a great king.

• Receiving a baby vulture as a gift: Will be blessed with a son who will become well noted. Conversely, the same dream during daytime means the dreamer will get so ill as to be nearing death. If he is scratched by the vulture, the disease will last quite a long time.

• Turning into a vulture: Will have a long life.

• Dreaming of black grapes: Flogging or lashes as much as there were seeds in the grapes.

• Picking a bunch of black grapes from a tree: Wife will give birth to a boy fathered by a black bondsman.

• Picking a bunch of grapes: The dreamer will take his wife’s savings.

• Pressing grape to obtain juice and turning the latter into wine: The dreamer will win the
favours of the chief, along with unblessed money, in view of the story of the Prophet Yusuf as related in the Holy Quran: “And two young men went to prison with him. One of them said: I dreamed that I was pressing wine. The other said: I dreamed that I was carrying upon my head bread whereof the birds were eating. Announce unto us the interpretation, for we see thee of those good [at interpretation]. He said: The food which ye are given [daily] shall not come unto you but I shall tell you the interpretation ere it cometh unto you. This is of that which my Lord hath taught me … O my fellow-prisoners! As for one of you, he will pour out wine for his lord to drink; and as for the other, he will be crucified so that the birds will eat from his head. Thus is the case judged concerning which ye did inquire.” 
(“Yusuf [Joseph], verses 36–41.)

As opposed to a spider he symbolises a sinful and wicked person for he corrupts the people and in cities one against the other.

The wolf symbolizes an unjust enemy, a liar, a thief, or a treacherous, wicked, and deceitful friend.

• A wolf entering one’s house: A thief will break in.

• A wolf changing into another kind of docile animal: A thief who will halt his activities and repent.

• Raising a baby wolf: Will bring up a foundling, the child of a thief who will ultimately destroy the dreamer’s home and squander his money.

• Seeing a wolf: Will accuse an innocent man, in view of the story of the prophet Yusuf 
(Joseph) to this effect.

(Breed; Farm; Raise) If one sees himself driving a male animal to copulate with a female animal in a dream, it means a good harvest for that year. (Also see Driver)

If one sees inanimate objects such as a tree, a rock or a mountain walking in a dream, it represents major adversities and plagues. The movement of inanimate objects in a dream also means being dogmatic about one's spiritual stand. Walking like animals in a dream means emulating ignorant people, seeking the unattainable, or being a hypocrite, unless if the animal is permissible for food, then such style of walking means offering good deeds. (Also see Jogging; Prancing; Sound of walking; Strutting; Tripping)

(1) Difficulties are ahead.  (2) The dreamer is seeking some kind of learning that will bring him a tragedy. 
(3) The dreamer will shed others  blood.

• The dreamer’s face turning black in Hell: He is befriending an enemy of God and condoning his actions, which will blacken his face in people’s eyes. He should beware of God.

• Dreaming of being locked in Hell without knowing when one had entered: The subject is still poor, deprived, and miserable on earth and neither prays nor fasts nor observes any religious tenet.

Otherwise, if one finds the shops closed, the merchants drowsing and spiders webs spreading in every corner and covering the merchandise in the dream, it means stagnation of business or suffering major losses. Seeing the marketplace in a dream is also interpreted to represent the world. Whatever affects it will show in people's lives, in their mosques, churches, or temples including their profits, losses, clothing, recovering from illness, lies, stress, sorrows or adversities. If the market is quiet in the dream, then it represents the laziness of its salespeople. (Also see Entering a house)

Black grapes during the right season symbolize fear and disease; otherwise they mean trouble and worries. They are also a harbinger of cold weather. Grapes were believed by the ancient Arabs to be harmful. They also thought that no benefit could be derived from the black color and hated black grapes in any case. Among other things, they argued that the grape was originally white, placed near the son of Nuh 
(Noah). When his father cursed him, it suddenly turned black. Certain dream interpreters felt that the black grape meant nothing but money that will not last. Separate from the bunch, it symbolized extreme fear or chills. Others regarded the black grape as a not so bad dream, in view of a verse in the Holy Quran: “And of the fruits of the date-palm, and grapes, whence ye derive strong drink and 
(also) good nourishment. Lo! therein, is indeed a portent for people who have sense.” 
(“Al-Nahl” [The Bees], verse 67.) They also thought so because the Prophet Zakareyyah 
(Zacharia) used to find it at Mariam’s  (Mary’s) place.

• Slaughtering a woman: The dreamer will have sex with her.

• Slaughtering a female animal: The dreamer will make love to a woman and deflower a virgin.

• Slaughtering a male animal by attacking it from behind: The dreamer will sodomize such an animal.

• Slaughtering a young boy and grilling him: The dreamer will be unfair to that boy and slander him, provided the boy is old enough to be the one meant in the dream; otherwise the dream applies to his parents. If the boy turns out half-grilled, the accusations will be false.

If one sees his forehead broader in a dream, it means that he will develop stupidity after being intelligent, or become ignorant after being knowledgeable, or become stingy after being generous. If one sees his forehead turning black in the dream, it means disdaining from paying one's due alms tax. However, its brightness represents one's concern and caring for others. The forehead in a dream also represents one of the seven points in one's prostration and in that sense, its growth or transformation may affect one's devotion and assiduity in his prayers.
